Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of (vector) vaccines, and in particular to the inactivation of UL18 and/or UL8 in EHV. The invention further relates to replication deficient EHVs having inactivation of UL18 and/or UL 8. The invention further relates to related expression cassettes and vectors suitable for expression of genes of interest, particularly antigen coding sequences. The viral vectors of the invention can be used to produce immunogenic compositions or vaccines.
Background
Equine pathogen equine alphaherpesvirus 1 (equine abortion virus, EHV-1) belongs to the genus varicella virus of the subfamily alphaherpesviridae of the order herpesviridae. Large enveloped viruses with a double-stranded DNA genome of about 150,000 base pairs. Other important members of the subgenus varicella are human alphaherpesvirus 3 (varicella zoster Virus), porcine alphaherpesvirus 1 (pseudorabies Virus), bovine alphaherpesvirus 1 (infectious bronchitis Virus) and equine alphaherpesvirus 4 (equine rhinopneumovirus, EHV-4) (Virus Taxinomy: 2015 Release EC 47, London, UK, 7 months 2015; Emailration 2016(MSL number 30)). EHV-1 and EHV-4 are endemic and affect horses throughout the world. While EHV-4 causes a majority of mild infections of the upper respiratory tract, EHV-1 can cause systemic infections ranging from respiratory symptoms to abortion and fatal encephalomyelitis, depending on the host strain and immune status. There are currently two licensed Modified Live Vaccines (MLV) against EHV-1 in the United states and Europe, respectively (Boehringer Ingelheim) and(MSD). Both contain a classical attenuated EHV-1RacH strain, which was passaged 256 times in porcine epithelial cells for attenuation (Ma et al 2013). The mechanism of attenuation has been studied on a molecular level. Osterrieder et al (1996) showed that RacH lacks two genomic copies of orf67(IR6) and that recovery of one copy is sufficient to restore virulence. In addition, RacH carries a 1283bp deletion, thereby removing more than 90% of the coding sequence encoding orf1(UL56) of the immunosuppressive viral proteins. Other mutations may also affect attenuation, but have not been studied in detail so far. This all makes RacH an extremely safe vaccine strain since reversion to virulence by passage in vaccinated animals is largely impossible (if possible).
Two variants of the Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) of escherichia coli, pRacH and pRacH-SE, possessing the entire genome of the equine alpha herpes virus 1(EHV-1) vaccine strain RacH, are known as platforms for vector vaccine development. BAC pRach-SE line was generated based on pRach, a BAC originally cloned in the laboratory of Klaus Osterioder, FU Berlin. pRach has a deletion of orf71(US5) encoding glycoprotein II (gpII; Wellington et al, 1996). The BAC-vector sequence and GFP expression cassette were introduced at their location. In order to rescue unmodified EHV-1RacH from pRacH, it must be co-transfected with a plasmid containing the entire orf71(US5) plus flanking region, such that during viral replication, the BAC-vector sequence portion and GFP expression cassette are replaced via homologous recombination with orf71(US5) such that the original RacH genome will be restored. pRach is modified in the present invention so that the BAC-vector sequence/GFP expression cassette is self-excisable (SE) when transfected in cell culture (Tischer et al, 2007). This modified BAC was named pRach-SE. Both pRach and pRach-SE can be used as a platform for vector vaccine development, the only difference being that pRach-SE favours significant rescue of orf71(US5) repaired virus.
It has been shown that EHV-1RacH based vector vaccines are able to elicit immunity in several mammalian species, including pigs, cattle and dogs (Rosas et al, 2007, Rosas et al 2008, Trapp et al 2005, Said et al 2013). The gene encoding the antigenic protein of the pathogen may be expressed by recombinant EHV-1 RacH. The EHV-1-RacH genome is manipulated in escherichia coli in its BAC form, and is typically tailored to express additional proteins by insertion of a transgenic expression cassette (Tischer et al, 2010). When pRacH-SE DNA is transfected in permissive cells in culture, EHV-1 replication is initiated by cellular transcription factors. The activity of the viral DNA polymerase results in the deletion of all BAC-vector-associated sequences and the restoration of the EHV-1RacH genome to its original state. The infectious virus produced was indistinguishable from RacH.
When pRacH-SE is manipulated in e.coli, e.g. by inserting a transgenic expression cassette, the reconstituted virus will be modified after transfection in permissive cells and will express additional genes. The recombinant EHV-1RacH can be used as a vector vaccine.
The wild-type EHV-1 strain had three open reading frames (orf) at one end of a long unique segment of its genome, designated orf1(UL56), orf2 and orf3 (sequence coordinates 1298-3614; FIG. 1). Orf1(UL56) and Orf3 were contiguously disposed on one strand of DNA, while Orf2 was encoded by the complementary strand. Vaccine strain RacH has a 1283bp deletion in this region affecting orfs 1 and 2, indicating that these genes are not essential for viral replication. For this purpose, this site serves as a transgene insertion site. This insertion site is designated ORF1/3(UL 56).
However, the size and number of transgenes that can be inserted into the insertion site of ORF1/3(UL56) is generally limited. Thus, there is an unmet need for novel and alternative methods of inserting and expressing transgenes from EHV vectors, particularly recombinant EHV-1RacH vectors, in order to enhance the capacity of EHV vectors.
It may be beneficial to have a replication-defective EHV vector vaccine. The replication deficient EHV vector vaccines are incapable of replication in a host animal and are not transmitted from one animal to another, and therefore, are advantageous for safety or regulatory reasons.
Barnard et al 1997 (Virology; 237,97-106) demonstrated that some UL8 mutants in herpes simplex virus type 1 show some replication inhibition. Furthermore, Muylaert et al, 2012(Journal of biological chemistry; Vol.287, No. 40, p.33142-33152) describes some UL8 mutants of herpes simplex virus type 1 that are deficient in DNA synthesis. In addition, some mutations were introduced into EHV, and similar phenotypes were observed when the corresponding mutations were introduced into EHV-1UL 8.
CN 105641692A describes the complete deletion (knock-out) of UL18 in herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). However, CN 105641692 a demonstrated that plaque inhibition was reduced by about 80% for this HSV-1UL18 knockout, but replication was not completely eliminated. In addition, CN 105535959 also studied the phenotype of the HSV-1UL18 knockout, and demonstrated significantly lower replication and infection and little to no infection was observed. Thus, with respect to replication, CN 105535959 sets forth a phenotype similar to CN 105641692A (replication reduced but not completely eliminated). In addition, CN 105535959 states that there is little infection with the HSV-1UL18 knockout, which is problematic for vector vaccines (e.g., recombinant EHV vaccines) because they must infect host cells to provide an adequate immune response. In particular, infectivity and transgenesis in infected cells are essential for the effectiveness of vector vaccines expressing foreign antigens. Thus, there is an unmet need for replication-defective (but infectious) EHV vector systems.

Inactivation of UL8 and/or UL18 is complete or partial deletion, complete or partial truncation, complete or partial substitution, complete or partial inversion, insertion.
The invention further relates to a mammalian host cell comprising the replication deficient EHV vector of the invention.
The invention further relates to cell lines expressing UL8 and/or UL18 of EHV or a functional part thereof for use in culturing replication deficient EHV vectors of the invention.
The invention further relates to a cell line comprising a plasmid comprising an expression cassette comprising UL8 and/or UL18 of EHV or a functional part thereof, wherein the cell line expresses UL8 and/or UL18 or a functional part thereof.
The invention further relates to a method for producing replication-defective equine alpha herpesvirus (EHV) comprising inactivating UL18 and/or UL8 according to the invention.
The present invention further relates to a method of producing a replication-deficient equine alpha herpes virus (EHV), comprising the steps of:
a) providing a wild-type EHV or an attenuated EHV;
b) inactivating UL18 and/or UL8 of the EHV of step a) and selecting an EHV clone without the full or functional portion of UL18 and/or UL 8;
c) providing a complementing cell line expressing UL18 and/or UL8 or a functional part thereof;
d) obtaining a replication deficient equine alpha herpes virus (EHV) by culturing the EHV of step b) with the complementing cell line of step c).
The invention further relates to immunogenic compositions comprising one or more EHV vectors of the invention.
The invention further relates to a method of immunizing an individual comprising administering to the individual the immunogenic composition of the invention.
The invention further relates to a method of treating or preventing clinical signs caused by a pathogen in an individual in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the individual a therapeutically effective amount of an immunogenic composition of the invention.
The technical problem is therefore solved by the description and the embodiments characterized in the claims, and the different aspects of the invention are realized according to the claims.
These properties allow for the generation of recombinant vector vaccines based on making EHVs replication-deficient by inactivation of UL18 and/or UL 8. Furthermore, an antigen may be inserted into the EHV vector. At least one antigen from another insertion site ORF1/3(UL56) and/or US4(ORF70) or at least two different antigens with similar efficiency at the same time can be expressed from ORF1/3(UL56) and/or US4(ORF 70). Furthermore, at least one antigen from the newly elucidated insertion site of UL18 and/or UL8 or at least two different antigens with similar efficiency simultaneously as from the newly described UL18 and/or UL8 may be expressed. Furthermore, antigens from the newly described UL18 and/or UL8 insertion site and the further insertion site ORF1/3(UL56) and/or US4(ORF70) may be expressed. Replication-defective EHV vector vaccines are advantageous for safety and regulatory reasons. Furthermore, if the vaccine target is composed of two or more different pathogens/antigens, the use of novel UL18 and/or UL8 insertion sites in parallel with having established insertion sites, such as ORF1/3(UL56) and/or US4(ORF70), can significantly reduce the cost of goods and represent a distinct advantage over vectors expressing only one antigenic component.

Definition of molecular biology
As known in the art, the term "vector" refers to a polynucleotide construct, typically a plasmid or bacterial artificial chromosome, used to deliver genetic material to a host cell. The vector may be, for example, a bacterium, a virus, a bacteriophage, a bacterial artificial chromosome, a cosmid (cosmid), or a plasmid. The carrier system used herein consists of or contains DNA or RNA. In some embodiments, the vector is comprised of DNA. In some embodiments, the vector is an infectious virus. The viral vector contains a viral genome that operates in a manner to carry a foreign gene that is not functional in replication of the viral vector, whether in cell culture or in a host animal. According to particular aspects of the invention, the vector may be used in various aspects, such as for the delivery of genetic material only, for the transfection of host cells or organisms, as a vaccine (e.g. a DNA vaccine) or for gene expression purposes. Gene expression is a term describing the biosynthesis of proteins in cells as being guided by specific polynucleotide sequences called genes. In particular aspects, a vector may be an "expression vector", which, when present in an appropriate environment, is a vector capable of directing the expression of a protein encoded by one or more genes carried by the vector.

The term "viral vector" describes a genetically modified virus that is manipulated by recombinant DNA techniques such that its entry into a host cell results in a specific biological activity, such as expression of a transgene carried by the vector. In particular aspects, the transgenic line antigen. Viral vectors may or may not be replication competent in the target cell, tissue or organism.
The production of viral vectors can be accomplished using any suitable genetic engineering technique well known in the art, including but not limited to standard techniques for restricted nuclease digestion, ligation, transformation, plasmid purification, DNA sequencing, cell culture transfection, for example as described in: sambrook et al (Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Cold spring harbor Laboratory Press, N.Y. (1989)) or K.Maramorosch and H.Koproxski (Methods in virology Volume VIII, Academic Press Inc. London, UK 2014).
The viral vector may incorporate sequences from a genome of any known organism. The sequence may be incorporated in its native form or may be modified in any way to obtain the desired activity. For example, the sequence may comprise insertions, deletions or substitutions.
The viral vector may comprise coding regions for two or more proteins of interest. For example, a viral vector may include a coding region for a first protein of interest and a coding region for a second protein of interest. The target first protein and the target second protein may be the same or different. In some embodiments, the viral vector may include a coding region for a third or fourth protein of interest. The third and fourth proteins of interest may be the same or different. The total length of two or more proteins of interest encoded by one viral vector may vary. For example, the total length of the two or more proteins can be at least about 200 amino acids. At least about 250 amino acids, at least about 300 amino acids, at least about 350 amino acids, at least about 400 amino acids, at least about 450 amino acids, at least about 500 amino acids, at least about 550 amino acids, at least about 600 amino acids, at least about 650 amino acids, at least about 700 amino acids, at least about 750 amino acids, at least about 800 amino acids, or longer.
Preferred viral vectors include, for example, herpes viral vectors derived from EHV-1 or EHV-4 or other varicella viruses such as PrV (pseudorabies virus) or BHV-1 (bovine herpes virus 1).
According to a particular aspect of the invention, the term "viral vector" or "viral construct" refers to a recombinant viral construct derived from a virus selected from the family herpesviridae, e.g. EHV-1, EHV-4. Preferred viral vectors include, for example, herpes viral vectors derived from EHV-1 or EHV-4.
The terms "viral vector" and "viral construct" are used interchangeably.
The term "construct" as used herein refers to an artificially produced recombinant nucleic acid, such as a plasmid, BAC or recombinant virus.
The term "plasmid" refers to cytoplasmic DNA that replicates independently of the bacterial chromosome within a bacterial host cell. In a particular aspect of the invention, the terms "plasmid" and/or "transfer plasmid" refer to a component of recombinant DNA technology used to construct, for example, an expression cassette for insertion into a viral vector. In another particular aspect, the term "plasmid" can be used to designate a plasmid that can be used for DNA vaccination purposes.
The terms "nucleic acid" and "polynucleotide" as used herein are used interchangeably and refer to any nucleic acid.
The terms "nucleic acid", "nucleic acid sequence", "nucleotide sequence", "polynucleotide sequence", "RNA sequence" or "DNA sequence" as used herein refer to oligonucleotides, nucleotides or polynucleotides and fragments and portions thereof, and to DNA or RNA of genomic or synthetic origin, which may be single-stranded or double-stranded and represents the sense strand or the antisense strand. The sequence may be a non-coding sequence, a coding sequence, or a mixture of both. The nucleic acid sequences of the invention can be prepared using standard techniques well known to those skilled in the art.
The terms "nucleic acid" and "polynucleotide" also specifically include nucleic acids composed of bases other than 5 biological bases (adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine, and uracil).
The terms "regulatory nucleic acid", "regulatory module" and "expression control module" are used interchangeably and refer to a nucleic acid molecule that can affect the expression of an operably linked coding sequence in a particular host organism. The terms are used broadly and encompass all components that promote or regulate transcription, including core, upstream, enhancer and response components required for basic interaction of promoters, promoter sequences, RNA polymerases and transcription factors. Exemplary regulatory components in prokaryotes include promoters, operator sequences, and ribosome binding sites. Regulatory components used in eukaryotic cells can include, but are not limited to, transcriptional and translational control sequences, such as promoters, enhancers, splicing signals, polyadenylation signals, terminators, protein degradation signals, Internal Ribosome Entry Sites (IRES), picornavirus 2A sequences, and the like, which provide and/or regulate expression of a coding sequence and/or production of an encoded polypeptide in a host cell.
An "internal ribosome entry site" or "IRES" describes a sequence that is 5' of a gene independent of the IRES, functionally facilitates translation initiation and allows translation of two cistrons (open reading frames) from a single transcript in an animal cell. The IRES provides an independent ribosome entry site for translation of the open reading frame immediately downstream thereof. Unlike bacterial mrnas, which can be polycistronic, i.e., encoding several different polypeptides that are translated sequentially from an mRNA, most mRNA of animal cells is monocistronic and encodes the synthesis of only one polypeptide. In eukaryotic cells with polycistronic transcripts, translation will start from the most 5' translation start site, terminate at the first stop codon, and the transcript will be released from the ribosome, resulting in translation of only the first encoded polypeptide in the mRNA. In eukaryotic cells, polycistronic transcripts having an IRES operably linked to a second or subsequent open reading frame in the transcript allow for sequential translation of this downstream open reading frame to produce two or more polypeptides encoded by the same transcript. IRES can be of varying lengths and from a variety of sources, for example, encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), picornavirus (e.g., foot and mouth disease virus, FMDV, or myelogenous ashbyite virus (PV)), or Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). Various IRES sequences and their use in vector construction have been described and are well known in the art. The downstream coding sequence may be operably linked to the 3' end of the IRES at any distance that does not negatively affect the expression of the downstream gene. The optimal or allowable distance between the IRES and the downstream gene start can be readily determined by varying the distance and measuring expression as a function of distance.
The term "2 a" or "2 a peptide" refers to short oligopeptide sequences, described as 2a and "2 a-like", which serve as linkers capable of mediating co-translational cleavage between proteins through a process defined as ribosome skipping. These 2a and "2 a-like" sequences (from picornaviridae and other viral or cellular sequences) can be used to concentrate multiple gene sequences into a single gene, ensuring that they are co-expressed within the same cell (see Luke and Ryan, 2013).
The term "promoter" or "promoter sequence" as used herein refers to a nucleotide sequence that allows RNA polymerase to bind and direct transcription of a gene. Typically, a promoter is located in the 5' non-coding region of a gene, near the transcription start site of the gene. The sequence components within a promoter that are used to initiate transcription are generally characterized as having a consensus nucleotide sequence. Examples of promoters include, but are not limited to, promoters from bacteria, yeast, plants, viruses, and animals, such as mammals (including horses, pigs, cows, and humans), birds, or insects. Promoters may be inducible, repressible and/or constitutive. Inducible promoters initiate an increased degree of transcription from DNA under their control in response to some change in culture conditions (e.g., temperature change) (Ptashne, 2014). Examples of promoters well known to those skilled in the art are, for example, SV40 large T, HCMV and MCMV immediate early gene 1, the human elongation factor alpha promoter, the baculovirus polyhedrin promoter, the polymerase II promoter.
The term "enhancer" refers to a polynucleotide sequence that acts in a cis position on the activity of a promoter and thus stimulates transcription of a gene or coding sequence functionally linked to the promoter. Unlike promoters, enhancers are not position and orientation dependent and thus may be located before or after a transcriptional unit, within an intron, or even within a coding region. Enhancers can be located in the vicinity of the transcription unit and at considerable distance from the promoter. It may also overlap physically and functionally with the promoter. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that a variety of enhancers from a variety of sources (and deposited in databases such as gene banks, e.g., the SV40 enhancer, CMV enhancer, polyoma enhancer, adenovirus enhancer) are used as independent components or as components cloned within a polynucleotide sequence (e.g., deposited in the ATCC or from commercial and personal sources). Various promoter sequences also contain enhancer sequences, such as the frequently used CMV promoter. Human CMV enhancer is one of the strongest enhancers identified to date. One example of an inducible enhancer is the metallothionein enhancer, which can be stimulated by glucocorticoids or heavy metals.
The term "complementary nucleotide sequence" describes one strand of two paired strands of a polynucleotide, such as DNA or RNA. The nucleotide sequence of the complementary strand mirrors that of its counterpart strand, such that for each adenosine it contains a thymine (or uracil for RNA), a cytosine for each guanine, and vice versa. For example, the complementary nucleotide sequence of 5 '-GCATAC-3' is 3 '-CGTATG-5' or 3 '-CGUAUG-5' for RNA.
The terms "gene", "gene of interest" as used herein have the same meaning and refer to a polynucleotide sequence of any length that encodes a product of interest. A gene may further comprise regulatory sequences preceding the coding sequence (5 'non-coding or non-translated sequences) and subsequent regulatory sequences (3' non-coding or non-translated sequences). The selected sequence may be a full-length or truncated, fused or tagged gene, and may be cDNA, genomic DNA, or a fragment of DNA. It is generally understood that genomic DNA encoding a polypeptide or RNA may include a non-coding region (i.e., intron) that is spliced from mature messenger RNA (mrna) and thus not present in cDNA encoding the same polypeptide or RNA. It may be a native sequence, i.e. in its native form, or may be mutated, or comprise a sequence derived from a different source or be otherwise modified as required. Such modifications include codon optimization to optimize codon usage or markers in the host cell of choice. Furthermore, it may comprise the removal or addition of cis-acting sites, such as (cryptic) splice donors, acceptor sites and branch points, polyadenylation signals, TATA-boxes, chi sites, ribosome entry sites, repeats, secondary structures (e.g. stem loops), binding sites for transcription factors or other regulatory factors, restriction endonuclease sites, etc., to name a few but not limiting examples. The selected sequence may encode a secreted, cytoplasmic, nuclear, membrane-bound or cell surface polypeptide.
The term "target nucleotide sequence" as used herein is a more general term than the target gene, as it does not necessarily encompass a gene, but may encompass components or portions of a gene or other genetic information (e.g., ori (origin of replication)). The nucleotide sequence of interest may be any DNA or RNA sequence, regardless of whether it comprises a coding sequence.
An "open reading frame" or "ORF" refers to a length of a nucleic acid sequence (DNA or RNA) that includes a translation initiation signal or start codon (e.g., ATG or AUG) and a stop codon, and that can potentially be translated into a polypeptide sequence.
The term "UL (uniquely long)" is an abbreviation used to describe a uniquely long segment of the EHV genome, preferably the EHV-1 genome.
The term "US (uniquely short)" is used to describe the abbreviation for the uniquely short segment of the EHV gene body, preferably the EHV-1 gene body.
The term "transcription" describes the biosynthesis of mRNA in a cell.
The term "expression" as used herein refers to the transcription and/or translation of an internal nucleic acid sequence in a host cell. According to a particular aspect of the invention, the term "expression" refers to the transcription and/or translation of a heterologous and/or exogenous nucleic acid sequence within a host cell. The degree of expression of the desired product in the host cell can be determined based on the amount of the corresponding RNA or mRNA present in the cell or the amount of the desired polypeptide encoded by the selected sequence. For example, mRNA transcribed from a selected sequence can be quantified by northern blot hybridization, rnase RNA protection, in situ hybridization to cellular RNA, or by RT qPCR (reverse transcription followed by quantitative PCR). The protein expressed from the selected sequence can be quantified by various methods, for example by ELISA, immunoblotting, by radioimmunoassay, by immunoprecipitation, by assaying for the biological activity of the protein or by immunostaining of the protein, followed by FACS analysis.
The term "expression cassette" or "transcription unit" or "expression unit" defines a region within a vector, construct or polynucleotide sequence containing one or more genes to be transcribed, wherein the nucleotide sequence encoding the transcribed gene and the polynucleotide sequence containing the regulatory elements comprised within the expression cassette are operably linked to each other. It is transcribed from an activator and transcription is terminated by at least one polyadenylation signal. In a particular aspect, it is transcribed from a single promoter. Thus, the different genes are at least transcriptionally related. More than one protein or product may be transcribed and expressed from each transcriptional unit (polycistronic transcriptional unit). Each transcriptional unit will contain the regulatory components necessary for transcription and translation of any selected sequence contained within the unit. And each transcription unit may contain the same or different regulatory components. For example, each transcriptional unit may contain the same terminator, and IRES elements or introns may be used for functional linkage of genes within the transcriptional unit. The vector or polynucleotide sequence may contain more than one transcriptional unit.
The terms "increased expression", "increased titer or productivity" or "improved expression or productivity" mean an increase in the expression, synthesis or secretion of a heterologous and/or exogenous sequence introduced into a host cell by comparison to a suitable control (e.g., protein encoded by cDNA versus protein encoded by an intron-containing gene), e.g., a gene encoding a therapeutic protein. If the cell line of the invention is cultured according to the method of the invention as described herein and if the specific productivity or titer of this cell is increased by at least 1.2-fold, 1.5-fold, 2-fold, 3-fold, 4-fold or 5-fold, the titer or productivity is increased. If the cell line of the invention is cultured according to the method of the invention as described herein and if the specific productivity or titer of this cell is increased by at least 1.2-fold or at least 1.5-fold or at least 2-fold or at least 3-fold, the titer or productivity is also increased. If the cell line of the invention is cultured according to the process of the invention as described herein and if the specific productivity or titer of this cell is increased by at least 1.2-fold to 5-fold, preferably 1.5-fold to 5-fold, more preferably 2-fold to 5-fold, the titer or productivity is also increased in particular. "increased expression" may also mean that more cells actually express the gene/sequence of interest. For example, increased expression may mean that the novel promoters of the invention are active for longer periods of time during the viral replication cycle relative to other promoters.
Increased expression, titer or productivity can be obtained by using the heterologous vector of the invention. This can be combined with other methods such as FACS assisted selection of recombinant host cells containing one or more fluorescent proteins (e.g., GFP) or cell surface markers as additional selectable markers. Other methods and combinations of different methods of obtaining increased expression may also be used, e.g. based on the use of cis-active components to manipulate chromatin structure (e.g. LCR, UCOE, ase, spacers, S/MAR, STAR components), the use of (artificial) transcription factors, treatment of cells with natural or synthetic reagents to upregulate endogenous or heterologous and/or foreign gene expression, to improve stability (half-life) of mRNA or protein, to improve initiation of mRNA translation, to increase gene dosage by using episomal plasmids (based on the use of viral sequences as replication origins, e.g. SV40, polyoma, adenovirus, EBV or BPV), to use amplification promoting sequences or in vitro amplification systems based on DNA concatemers.
The term "obtaining" may comprise separation and/or purification steps known to the person skilled in the art, preferably using precipitation, column etc.
The assays used to measure "increased expression" are based on protein measurements of LC-MS/MS, such as Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM); antibody-based detection methods such as immunoblotting, dot blotting, or immunodiffusion and flow cytometry; and measuring the biological activity by hemagglutination analysis.
"promoter activity" is indirectly measured by quantifying the mRNA transcribed under the control of the respective promoter. mRNA was quantified by RTqPCR relative to endogenous standards.
The term "viral titer" is a measure of infectious units per volume of viral preparation. Viral titers were endpoints in the biological program and defined as the dilution at which a proportion of the tests performed in parallel showed an effect (Reed and Muench, 1938). Specifically, the tissue culture infectious dose 50 per ml (TCID50/ml) gives a dilution of the virus preparation, where 50% of the number of cell cultures inoculated in parallel with this dilution are infected.
"transcriptional regulatory components" typically comprise a promoter upstream of the gene sequence to be expressed, transcriptional initiation and termination sites, and polyadenylation signals.
The term "transcription initiation site" refers to the nucleic acid in the construct corresponding to the first nucleic acid incorporated into the primary transcript (i.e., the pre-mRNA). The transcription initiation site may overlap with the promoter sequence.
A "termination signal" or "terminator" or "polyadenylation signal" or "poly A" or "transcription termination site" or "transcription termination component" causes cleavage of a specific site at the 3 'end of the eukaryotic mRNA and incorporation of a sequence of about 100-200 adenine nucleotides (poly A tail) after transcription at the cleaved 3' end and thus causes the RNA polymerase to terminate transcription. The polyadenylation signal comprises a sequence AATAAA about 10 to 30 nucleotides upstream of the cleavage site and a sequence located downstream. Various polyadenylation elements are known, such as tk polya, SV40 late and early polya, BGH polya (described, for example, in U.S. patent No. 5,122,458), or hamster growth hormone polya (WO 2010010107).
"translational regulatory elements" include the translation initiation site (AUG), stop codon and poly A signal for each individual polypeptide to be expressed. An Internal Ribosome Entry Site (IRES) may be included in some constructs. To optimize expression, it may be advisable to remove, add or alter the 5 'and/or 3' untranslated regions of the nucleic acid sequence to be expressed, to eliminate any potentially additional inappropriate alternative translation initiation codons or other sequences that may interfere with or reduce expression to the extent of transcription or translation. A consensus ribosome binding site (Kozak sequence) can be inserted immediately upstream of the start codon to enhance translation and thus expression. Increased A/U content near this ribosome binding site promotes more efficient ribosome binding.
By definition, each polynucleotide sequence or each gene inserted into a host cell, and the individual proteins or RNAs encoded thereby, when they are from different (viral) species, are referred to as "exogenous", "exogenous sequence", "exogenous gene", "exogenous coding sequence" with respect to the host cell. Thus, EHV-4 based promoters are exogenous in view of the EHV-1 viral vector. The term "exogenous" as used herein with respect to a sequence or gene of interest (e.g., an antigen) means that the sequence or gene of interest, and in particular the antigen, is expressed outside of the context of its native material. Thus, the HA antigen from porcine IAV is an example of an exogenous antigen relative to EHV-1 carrier line. Thus, any sequence derived from a different pathogen other than EHV-1 is a foreign sequence or gene of interest or an antigen of a particular aspect of the invention.
By definition, each polynucleotide sequence or each gene inserted into a host cell, and the respective protein or RNA encoded thereby, is referred to as "heterologous", "heterologous sequence", "heterologous gene", "heterologous coding sequence", "transgene" or "heterologous protein" with respect to the host cell. This applies even if the sequence to be introduced or the gene to be introduced is identical to the endogenous sequence or endogenous gene of the host cell. For example, by definition, the EHV-4 promoter sequence is heterologous with respect to the EHV-4 promoter sequence introduced at a different site in the EHV-4 wild-type virus or in a modified form into an EHV-4 viral vector. The term "heterologous" as used herein with respect to a sequence or gene of interest (e.g., an antigen) means that the sequence or gene of interest, and in particular the antigen, is expressed outside of the context of its native subunit. Thus, any non-EHV-1 specific sequence or gene of interest, e.g. an antigen of any equine alphaherpesvirus other than EHV-1 (e.g. EHV-3, EHV-8) is therefore a heterologous sequence or gene of interest or an antigen of a particular aspect of the invention.
The term "non-native" means any sequence or gene of interest (e.g., antigen) that naturally occurs in this context, such as a hybrid sequence or gene of interest (e.g., antigen) from a different species, or a sequence or gene of interest (e.g., antigen) that is not a natural product due to a man-made mutation, insertion, deletion, or the like.
Throughout the description of the present invention, the term "recombinant" is used interchangeably with the terms "non-native", "heterologous" and "exogenous". Thus, a "recombinant" protein is a protein expressed from a heterologous or exogenous polynucleotide sequence. The term recombinant as used with respect to a virus means a virus produced by the manual manipulation of viral genomes. A virus-based recombinant virus comprising a heterologous or foreign sequence (e.g., a foreign antigen-encoding sequence). The term recombinant virus is used interchangeably with the term non-native virus.
Thus, the term "heterologous vector" means a vector comprising a heterologous or exogenous polynucleotide sequence. The term "recombinant vector" means a vector comprising a heterologous or recombinant polynucleotide sequence.
The term "operably linked" as used herein is used to describe a linkage of a regulatory component to a gene or an interval encoding it. Typically, gene expression is under the control of one or more regulatory elements (such as, but not limited to, constitutive or inducible promoters, tissue-specific regulatory elements, and enhancers). The statement that a gene or coding region is "operably linked to" or "operably associated with" a regulatory component means that the gene or coding region is controlled or affected by the regulatory component. For example, a promoter is operably linked to a coding sequence if the promoter affects the transcription or expression of the coding sequence.
Furthermore, within the scope of this specification, the terms "functional linking", or "operably linked" mean that two or more nucleic acid sequences or sequence elements are positioned in a manner that allows them to function in the intended manner. For example, a promoter/enhancer or terminator is functionally linked to the coding gene sequence if it is capable of controlling or regulating the transcription of the gene sequence linked in an cis-position. Typically, but not necessarily, functionally linked DNA sequences are contiguous and, if necessary to join two polypeptide coding regions or, in the case of a secretory signal peptide, contiguous and in reading frame. However, while an operably linked promoter is typically located upstream, or an operably linked terminator is typically located downstream of a coding sequence, it is not necessarily contiguous therewith. Enhancers need not be contiguous, so long as they increase transcription of the coding sequence. For this purpose, it can be located upstream or downstream of the coding sequence and even at a distance. If the polyadenylation site is located 3' to the coding sequence, the polyadenylation site is operably linked to the coding sequence such that transcription proceeds through the coding sequence into the polyadenylation signal. Ligation is achieved by recombinant methods known in the art, for example by ligation at appropriate restriction sites or blunt ends or by using fusion PCR methods. If suitable restriction sites are not present, synthetic oligonucleotide linkers or adaptors can be used in accordance with conventional practice.
Thus, the term "functional fragment" or "functional derivative" of a promoter sequence means that the fragment or derivative still affects promoter activity. Functional tests on how to evaluate promoter activity are well known to those skilled in the art (Bustin 2000, Nolan et al 2006). Exemplary embodiments of this functional assay include, for example, promoter kinetics experiments. Cells infected with the vector virus carrying the expression cassette, in which the promoter or fragment thereof directs transcription of the reporter transgene, are incubated for various periods of time. Total RNA was prepared from samples collected at different times post infection. After destruction of the contaminating DNA by DNAse I digestion, the RNA is reverse transcribed. One replicate was treated with Reverse Transcriptase (RT) addition and the second replicate was treated without RT addition to demonstrate successful removal of contaminating DNA from RNA preparations. The resulting cDNA was purified and used as a template in conventional PCR. Only samples treated at the addition of RT will produce PCR products. These cdnas can then be used in qPCR using primers for reporter gene transgenes and in parallel using essential genes (internal standard genes) of viral vectors, whose transcription provides an internal standard for infection and replication efficiency. qPCR values for the internal standard genes were used to normalize qPCR values for the reporter genes between each other for different constructs and time post infection. This may explain the promoter activity of different promoters and fragments thereof.
"sequence homology" as used herein refers to a method of determining the relatedness of two sequences. To determine sequence homology, two or more sequences are optimally aligned and, if necessary, gaps are introduced. However, in contrast to "sequence identity", conservative amino acid substitutions are counted as matches when sequence homology is determined.
In other words, in order to obtain a comparable polypeptide or polynucleotide having 95% sequence homology to the reference sequence, 85%, preferably 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, even more preferably 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.9% of the amino acid residues or nucleotides in the reference sequence must match or contain a conservative substitution with another amino acid or nucleotide. Alternatively, amino acids or nucleotides may be inserted into the reference sequence in a number of up to 15%, preferably up to 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, even more preferably up to 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, 0.1% of the total amino acid residues or nucleotides in the reference sequence (excluding conservative substitutions). Preferably, the homologous sequence comprises at least a stretch of 50, even more preferably 100, even more preferably 250, even more preferably 500 nucleotides.
The term "sequence identity" is known in the art and refers to the relationship of two or more polypeptide sequences or two or more polynucleotide sequences, i.e., a reference sequence, to a given sequence to be compared to the reference sequence. Sequence identity is determined by comparing a given sequence to a reference sequence after the sequences are optimally aligned to produce the highest degree of sequence similarity, as determined by matching the sequence strings to each other. After this alignment, sequence identity is determined on a position-by-position basis, e.g., if nucleotides or amino acid residues are identical at a position, the sequences are "identical" at that position. The total number of such positional identities is then divided by the total number of nucleotides or residues in the reference sequence to give the% sequence identity. Sequence identity can be readily calculated by known methods including, but not limited to, those described in: comparative Molecular Biology, Lesk, A.N. editor, Oxford University Press, New York (1988), Biocomputing: information and Genome Projects, Smith, D.W. editor, Academic Press, New York (1993); computer Analysis of Sequence Data, part I, Griffin, A.M. and Griffin, H.G. eds, Humana Press, New Jersey (1994); sequence analysis in Molecular Biology, von Heinge, G., Academic Press (1987); sequence analysis Primer, Gribskov, m. and Devereux, j. editors, m.stockton Press, New York (1991); and Carillo, h, and Lipman, d., SIAM j. applied math, 48:1073(1988), the teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference. Preferred methods for determining sequence identity are designed to obtain the greatest match between the sequences tested. Methods for determining sequence identity are compiled as publicly available computer programs for determining sequence identity between given sequences. Examples of such programs include, but are not limited to, the GCG program package (Devereux, J. et al, Nucleic Acids Research,12(1):387(1984)), BLASTP, BLASTN and FASTA (Altschul, S.F. et al, J.Molec.biol.,215: 403. 410 (1990). the BLASTX program is publicly available from NCBI and other sources (BLAST Man, Altschul, S. et al, NCVI NLM NIH Bethesda, MD 20894, Altschul, S.F. et al, J.Molec.biol.,215: 403. 410(1990) which teaches to be incorporated herein by reference.) the programs optimally use gap weights to align sequences to produce the highest degree of sequence identity between a given sequence and a reference sequence for a polynucleotide having a nucleotide sequence identity of at least (e.g. 92%, 91%, 85%, 93%, 99%, or even more preferably at least 91% to the nucleotide sequence of the given sequence of the reference, it is contemplated that the nucleotide sequence of a given polynucleotide is identical to a reference sequence, except that the given polynucleotide sequence may include up to 15, preferably up to 10, even more preferably up to 5 point mutations per 100 nucleotides of the reference nucleotide sequence. In other words, up to 15%, preferably 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, even more preferably 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, 0.1% of the nucleotides in a reference sequence may be deleted or substituted with another nucleotide, or up to 15%, preferably 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, even more preferably 5%, 6%, even more preferably 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, 0.1% of the total nucleotides in the reference sequence may be inserted into the reference sequence as many nucleotides as 15%, preferably 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, even more preferably 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, 0.1% of the total nucleotides in the reference sequence. Such mutations of the reference sequence can occur at the 5 'or 3' terminal positions of the reference nucleotide sequence or at any position between those terminal positions, interspersed individually between each nucleotide in the reference sequence or in the form of one or more contiguous groups within the reference sequence. Similarly, for a given amino acid sequence for which the polypeptide has at least (e.g.) 85%, preferably 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, even more preferably 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% sequence identity to the reference amino acid sequence, the given amino acid sequence for the polypeptide is expected to be identical to the reference sequence, except that the given polypeptide sequence may include up to 15, preferably up to 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, even more preferably up to 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 amino acid alteration per 100 amino acids of the reference amino acid sequence. In other words, in order to obtain a given polypeptide sequence having at least 85%, preferably 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, even more preferably 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% sequence identity to a reference amino acid sequence, up to 15%, preferably up to 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, even more preferably up to 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1% of the amino acid residues in the reference sequence may be deleted or substituted with another amino acid, or up to 15%, preferably up to 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, even more preferably up to 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1% of the number of amino acids of the total number of amino acid residues in the reference sequence may be inserted into the reference sequence. Such alterations of the reference sequence can occur at the amino-or carboxy-terminal positions of the reference amino acid sequence or at any position between those terminal positions, interspersed individually among residues in the reference sequence or as one or more contiguous groups within the reference sequence. Preferably, the different residue positions differ by conservative amino acid substitutions. However, conservative substitutions are not included as a match when determining sequence identity.
The terms "sequence identity" or "% identity" are used interchangeably herein. For the purposes of the present invention, it is defined herein that in order to determine the identity% of two amino acid sequences or two nucleic acid sequences, the sequences are aligned for optimal comparison purposes (e.g., gaps can be introduced in the sequence of a first amino acid or nucleic acid for optimal alignment with a second amino acid or nucleic acid sequence). The amino acid or nucleotide residues at the corresponding amino acid or nucleotide positions are then compared. When a position in the first sequence is occupied by the same amino acid or nucleotide residue as the corresponding position in the second sequence, then the molecules are identical at that position. The% identity of two sequences to each other varies with the number of identical positions shared by the sequences (i.e.,% identity is the number of identical positions/total positions (i.e., overlapping positions) × 100). Preferably, the two sequences are the same length.
Sequence comparison may be performed over the entire length of the two sequences being compared, or over a fragment of the two sequences. Typically, the comparison will be performed over the entire length of the two sequences being compared. However, sequence identity may be effected over, for example, 20, 50, 100 or more regions of contiguous amino acid residues.
The skilled person will be aware of the fact that: several different computer programs are available for determining the homology of two sequences with respect to each other. For example, sequence comparison of two sequences to each other and determination of% identity can be accomplished using a mathematical algorithm. In a preferred embodiment, the identity of two amino acid or nucleic acid sequences to each other is determined using the Needleman and Wunsch (J.mol.biol. (48):444-453(1970)) algorithm, which is incorporated into the GAP program in the Accelrys GCG package, using either the Blosum 62 matrix or the PAM250 matrix, and the GAP weights of 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6 or 4 and the length weights of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that all of these different parameters will produce slightly different results, but that the overall% identity of two sequences does not change significantly when different algorithms are used.
The protein sequences or nucleic acid sequences of the invention can be used as "query sequences" to perform searches against public databases, for example to identify other family members or related sequences. The searches can be performed using the BLASTN and BLASTP programs (version 2.0) of Altschul et al, (1990) J.mol.biol.215: 403-10. BLAST protein searches can be performed using the BLASTP program, score 50, and word length 3 to obtain amino acid sequences homologous to the protein molecules of the invention. To obtain a gapped alignment for comparison purposes, gapped BLAST can be utilized as described in: altschul et al (1997) Nucleic Acids Res.25(17):3389-3402 when utilizing BLAST and gapped BLAST programs, the default parameters of the respective programs (e.g., XBLAST and NBLAST) can be used.

EHV-1 and EHV-4/recombinant vector technology Definitions
The term "equine" or "equine" means or belongs to the family of equine animals, which includes horses, donkeys and zebras, preferably horses. In addition, the term "equine" or "horse" ("equine" or "equin") also encompasses hybrids of members of the equine family (e.g., mule (mules), mule (hinnies), etc.).
"herpesvirus" or "herpesvirus vector" refers to a species within the herpesviridae family of Herpesviridae.
The term "equine herpesvirus vector" or "equine herpesvirus" or "EHV" means a member of the herpesvirus family that affects horses. To date, eight different species of equine herpesviruses have been identified, of which five subfamilies alphaherpesviridae (EHV-1, EHV-3, EHV-4, EHV-8 and EHV-9) and three genera of the subfamily C herpesvirus. (VirusTaxonomy: EC 47 release 2015, London, UK, 7 months 2015; E-mail approval 2016(MSL number 30)
The term "EHV-1" means equine alphaherpesvirus 1, a member of the subfamily varicella of the subfamily alphaherpesviridae. Non-limiting reference sequences for EHV-1 will be, for example, wild-type EHV-1 strain ab4 (GenBank accession AY665713.1) or RacH (Hubert 1996).
The term EHV-4 means equine alphaherpesvirus 4, a member of the subgenus varicella of the subfamily alphaherpesviridae.
The term "inserted into UL 18" or "inserted into ORF 43" means that the DNA fragment is inserted into the genomic DNA at a position encoding the open reading frame 43(UL18) of equine alphaherpesvirus 1. In a particular aspect of the invention, the mentioned insertion results in a complete deletion of ORF43(UL18) (945 bp).
The term "inserted into UL 8" or "inserted into ORF 54" means that the DNA fragment is inserted into the genomic DNA at a position encoding the open reading frame 54(UL8) of equine alphaherpesvirus 1. In a particular aspect of the invention, the insertion referred to results in a (2256bp) deletion of ORF54 (UL 8).
The term "inserted into ORF 70" or "inserted into US 4" means that the DNA fragment is inserted into the genomic DNA at the position encoding the open reading frame 70 of equine alpha herpes virus 1 (US 4). In a particular aspect of the invention, the insertion referred to results in deletion of 801 5 'base pairs of ORF70(US4) leaving the remaining 423bp of the 3' end intact, but abolishing expression of the ORF70(US4) gene product glycoprotein G. It was shown that glycoprotein G of several alphaherpesviruses, including EHV-1, can be secreted from infected cells and used as an immunomodulatory protein by binding proinflammatory interleukins. Elimination of expression in viral vectors should increase the immunogenicity of viral infections compared to wild-type EHV-1 with intact glycoprotein G expression.
The term "inserted in ORF 1/3" or "inserted in UL 56" means that the DNA fragment is inserted into the viral genome at a position where a 1283bp fragment comprising 90% of ORF1 and the entire ORF2 is lost by accidental deletion by passage during the attenuation procedure of vaccine strain EHV-1 RacH. This insertion site was chosen because the likelihood that expression of the transgene from this site would interfere with viral replication would be expected to be very low.
The term "inactivation" refers to a mutation within UL8(ORF54) and/or UL18(ORF 43). The term mutation encompasses modifications in the viral DNA encoding the proteins which result in changes in the encoded proteins. The term mutation relates to, but is not limited to, a substitution (replacing one or several nucleotides/base pairs), a deletion (removing one, several or all nucleotides/base pairs) and/or an insertion (adding one or several nucleotides/base pairs). Thus, the term mutation includes, but is not limited to, the following mutations: point mutations (single nucleotide mutations) or larger mutations, in which, for example, parts of the coding (and/or non-coding) nucleotides/base pairs are deleted (partial deletion) or deleted (complete deletion), all coding (and/or non-coding) nucleotides/base pairs are replaced and/or additional coding (and/or non-coding) nucleotides/base pairs are inserted. It is to be understood that the term mutation encompasses mutations within coding nucleotide/base pairs, mutations within non-coding nucleotide/base pairs, e.g., regulatory nucleotide/base pairs, and mutations within coding nucleotide/base pairs and non-coding nucleotide/base pairs. Furthermore, the term mutation also encompasses inversions of nucleotides/base pairs (coding and/or non-coding), such as inversions of a part or all of coding nucleotides/base pairs or inversions of a part or all of non-coding nucleotides/base pairs or combinations thereof. Furthermore, the term mutation also encompasses the relocation of nucleotides/base pairs (coding and/or non-coding), such as the relocation of a part or all of the coding nucleotides/base pairs or the relocation of a part or all of the non-coding nucleotides/base pairs or a combination thereof. As used herein, a mutation can be a single mutation or several mutations, and thus, the term "mutation" is often used and refers to a single mutation as well as several mutations. Such mutations may result in improved expression of the protein due to changes in the coding sequence. However, the term mutation is well known to those skilled in the art and a mutation can be generated by those skilled in the art without the need for an explicit indication.
Furthermore, the term "inactivation" encompasses reduced (or eliminated) expression of UL18 and/or UL8RNA and/or protein. It is understood that reduced expression encompasses reduced RNA transcription as well as reduced protein expression. Preferably, expression of UL18 and/or UL8RNA and/or protein is reduced by 5-10%, 10-20%, 20-30%, 30-40%, 40-50%, 50-60%, 60-70%, 70-80%, 80-90%, 90-95%, 95-99% or more by RNA and/or protein as compared to expression of a wild-type EHV virus or an EHV virus of the invention cultured in a complementing cell line. More preferably, expression of UL18 and/or UL8RNA and/or protein is reduced by 50-100%, 60-100%, 70-100%, 80-100% or 90-100% by RNA and/or protein compared to expression of wild-type EHV virus or EHV virus of the invention cultured in a complementing cell line. Even more preferably, expression of UL18 and/or UL8RNA and/or protein is reduced by 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% in an EHV of the invention by RNA and/or protein as compared to expression of a wild-type EHV virus or an EHV virus of the invention cultured in a complementing cell line.
The term "complete or partial deletion, substitution or inversion" encompasses complete or partial deletion, complete or partial substitution and complete or partial inversion. The term "complete" means that the stop from the start codon to ORF (UL) affects the entire ORF (UL). Preferably, UL18 and/or UL8 are completely deleted, substituted or inverted. However, the term "part" means that only a part of the entire orf (ul) is affected. Preferably, UL18 and/or UL8 are partially deleted, substituted or inverted.
The term "from the 5 '-end of the initiation codon" refers to deletion, substitution or inversion of ORF (UL) at the 5' -end. The term as used herein is to be understood as meaning that the deletion, substitution or inversion affects (includes) the start codon of the ORF. Thus, a part of the 3 '-end region of the ORF was retained, and a part of the 5' -end region of the ORF was deleted. However, such deletion, substitution or inversion from the 5' -end may cause deletion of one or more amino acids in the corresponding protein, or cause a frame shift in the ORF, which results in a coding region different from the wild-type protein. However, such deletion, substitution or inversion at the 5' -end may not cause expression of the protein at all, since the start codon is truncated.
The term "A, T or G from the start codon" as used herein is to be understood that the deletion, substitution or inversion may start with A or T or G. A is deleted if the deletion starts with A. However, if the deletion from a comprises a deletion of two or more nucleotides, then T is also deleted. Furthermore, if the deletion from a comprises a deletion of three or more nucleotides, A, T and G are deleted. However, it will be appreciated that if the deletion starts with T, then T is deleted while A of the ATG is still retained. Furthermore, if the deletion starts with a G, then G is deleted, while the A and T of the ATG remain.
The term "within UL 18" or "within UL 8" as used herein is to be understood that the deletion, substitution or inversion of a nucleotide can occur anywhere within the orf (UL). Thus, this deletion, substitution or inversion of nucleotides may affect only the 5 '-end of UL8(ORF54) and/or UL18(ORF43), only the 3' -end of UL8(ORF54) and/or UL18(ORF43) or the remaining nucleotides of this ORF (UL) or any combination thereof.
The term "replication defect" is well known to those skilled in the art. Generally, the term means that replication of the virus in a host (e.g., a mammalian cell or cell line) is reduced. Preferably, replication is reduced by at least 90%, preferably 95%, preferably 97.5%, even more preferably 99.5%, even more preferably 99.75% and optimally 100%. If replication is reduced by 100%, replication is completely eliminated. Preferably, the replication is comparable to a non-replication deficient virus of the same species. Preferably, the replication is comparable to that of replication-defective viruses cultured in complement cells or cell lines. Preferably, the replication-deficient EHVs of the invention are still infectious and replicate, but may be packaged only as replication-competent viruses in complement cells or cell lines. Preferably, viral DNA and viral proteins are still produced in the host, and thus, the replication deficient EHVs of the invention still induce an immune response and/or protect immunity.
The term "complementing cell line" or "complementing cell" is well known to the person skilled in the art. In the present invention, the complementing cell line cell is a cell line expressing UL8 and/or UL18 (or a functional part thereof) of EHV (preferably EHV-1). Since the replication-deficient EHV vector comprises inactivated UL8 and/or UL18, the replication-deficient EHV does not replicate in a host cell (e.g., a mammalian cell or cell line), but replicates in a corresponding complementing cell line expressing UL8 and/or UL 18.
The term "TCID 50" is well known to those skilled in the art. Generally, this endpoint dilution assay quantifies the amount of virus required to kill 50% of infected cells or produce cytopathic effects in 50% of seeded tissue culture cells. Assays for measuring TCID50 are well known to those skilled in the art, such as the Spearman-Karber or Reed-Muench methods (Reed and Muench, 1938).
The term "infectivity" means the introduction of a virus into a host or host cell.
Vaccine definition
An "immunogenic or immunological composition" refers to a composition of matter comprising at least one antigen or immunogenic portion thereof, which elicits a cellular or antibody-mediated immune response in a host to the composition.
The term "antigen" as used herein is well known in the art and includes substances that are immunogenic (i.e., immunogens) as well as substances that induce immune unresponsiveness or anergy (i.e., the body's defense mechanisms are unresponsive to foreign substances). The term "antigen" as used herein is intended to refer to full-length proteins containing or comprising epitopes, as well as peptide fragments thereof.
The term "food producing animal" means an animal for human consumption, such as pigs, cattle, poultry, fish and the like, preferably food producing animals means pigs and cattle, most preferably pigs.
As used herein, "immunogenic composition" may refer to a polypeptide or protein, such as a viral surface protein that elicits an immune response as described herein. The term "immunogenic fragment" or "immunogenic portion" refers to a fragment or truncated and/or substituted form of a protein or polypeptide that includes one or more epitopes and thereby elicits the immune response described herein. Generally, such truncated and/or substituted forms or fragments will comprise at least six contiguous amino acids from the full-length protein. Such fragments can be identified using any number of epitope mapping techniques well known in the art. See, for example, Epitope Mappingprotocols in Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol.66 (Glenn E. Morris, eds., 1996) Humana Press, Totowa, N.J.. For example, linear epitopes can be determined by simultaneously synthesizing a large number of peptides (which correspond to portions of a protein molecule) on a solid support, and reacting the peptides with an antibody while the peptides are still attached to the support. Such techniques are known and described in the art, see, for example, U.S. Pat. nos. 4,708,871; geysen et al (1984) Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA 81: 3998-; and Geysen et al (1986) molecular. Immunol.23: 709-715. Similarly, conformational epitopes are readily identified by determining the spatial conformation of amino acids, for example by x-ray crystallography and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance. See Epitope Mapping Protocols, supra. Also included within this definition are synthetic antigens, such as polyepitopes, flanking epitopes, and other recombinant or synthetically derived antigens. See, e.g., Bergmann et al (1993) Eur.J.Immunol.23: 2777-2781; bergmann et al (1996), J.Immunol.157: 3242-3249; suhrbier, A. (1997), immunol. and Cell biol.75: 402-; and Gardner et al, (1998)12th world AIDS Conference, Geneva, Switzerland, 6 months 28 to 7 months 3 days 1998. (the teachings and content thereof are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.)
The term "immunization" relates to active immunization by: the immunogenic composition is administered to a food producing animal to be immunized, thereby eliciting an immunological response against the antigen included in the immunogenic composition.
The term "in need or of need" as used herein means that administration/treatment involves strengthening or improving health or clinical signs or any other positive medical effect on the health of an animal receiving the immunogenic composition of the invention.
The term "vaccine" as used herein refers to a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one immunologically active component that induces an immune response in an animal and may, but need not, comprise one or more additional components that enhance the immunological activity of the active component. The vaccine may additionally comprise other components typical of pharmaceutical compositions. By distinction, the immunologically active component of the vaccine may comprise intact virus particles in their original form or attenuated particles in a so-called Modified Live Vaccine (MLV) or particles inactivated by a suitable method in a so-called Killed Vaccine (KV). In another form, the immunologically active components of the vaccine may comprise appropriate components of the organism (subunit vaccine), wherein the components are generated by: the desired structures are produced by disruption of the whole particles or the growing culture containing them and optionally subsequent purification steps, or by synthetic methods, including appropriate manipulations with suitable systems based on, for example, bacteria, insects, mammals or other species, plus optionally subsequent isolation and purification procedures, or by inducing synthetic processes in animals in need of a vaccine (polynucleotide vaccination) by direct incorporation of genetic material using suitable pharmaceutical compositions. The vaccine may comprise one or more of the above components simultaneously. As used in particular aspects of the invention, "vaccine" refers to a live vaccine or live virus, also known as a recombinant vaccine. In another particular aspect of the invention, a "vaccine" refers to an inactivated or killed virus comprising a virus-like particle (VLP). Thus, the vaccine may be a subunit vaccine or a Killed (KV) or inactivated vaccine.
The term "multiplicity of infection (m.o.i.)" describes how many infectious units, e.g., TCID50 of a viral preparation is used per cell to infect cultured cells. For example, an m.o.i. of 0.01 means that for every 100 cells in the culture vessel, one infectious unit is inoculated.
The term "DNA vaccination" or "polynucleotide vaccination" means the direct inoculation of genetic material with a suitable pharmaceutical composition.
Various physical and chemical methods of inactivation are known in the art. The term "inactivation" refers to the prior inactivation or killing of a virus or bacterium that is virulent or avirulent by irradiation (ultraviolet (UV), X-ray, electron beam, or gamma radiation), heating, or chemical treatment, while retaining its immunogenicity. Suitable inactivators include beta-propiolactone, binary or beta-or acetyl-ethylidene, glutaraldehyde, ozone, and formalin (formaldehyde).
For inactivation by formalin or formaldehyde, formaldehyde is typically mixed with water and methanol to produce formalin. The addition of methanol prevents degradation or cross-reaction during the inactivation process. One embodiment uses about 0.1% to 1% 37% formaldehyde solution to inactivate viruses or bacteria. It is essential that the amount of formalin is adjusted to ensure material inactivation, but not so much that high dose side effects occur.
More specifically, the term "inactivated" in a virus means that the virus cannot replicate in vivo or in vitro, and the term "inactivated" in a bacterium means that the bacterium cannot replicate in vivo or in vitro, respectively. For example, the term "inactivated" may refer to a virus that has been propagated in vitro and then inactivated using chemical or physical means such that it is no longer able to replicate. In another example, the term "inactivated" may refer to a bacterium that has been propagated and then chemically or physically inactivated, thereby producing a suspension of the bacterium, fragments or components of the bacterium, e.g., producing a vaccine that can be used as a component of a vaccine.
The terms "inactivate", "kill" or "KV" as used herein are used interchangeably.
The term "live vaccine" refers to a vaccine comprising a living organism or a replication competent virus or viral vector.
A "pharmaceutical composition" consists essentially of one or more components capable of altering the physiological (e.g., immunological) function of the organism to which it is administered or of an organism that survives or survives in or on the organism. The term includes, but is not limited to, antibiotics or antiparasitic agents, as well as other ingredients commonly used to achieve some other purpose, such as, but not limited to, processing characteristics, sterility, stability, feasibility of administering compositions via enteral or parenteral routes (e.g., oral, intranasal, intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, intradermal, or other suitable routes), tolerance after administration, or controlled release properties. One non-limiting example of such a pharmaceutical composition (for illustrative purposes only) may be prepared as follows: cell culture supernatants of infected cell cultures are mixed with stabilizers, such as spermidine (speramine) and/or Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA), and the mixture is then lyophilized or otherwise dehydrated. The mixture is then rehydrated in an aqueous solution (e.g., saline, Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS)) or a non-aqueous solution (e.g., oil emulsion, aluminum-based adjuvant) prior to vaccination.
As used herein, "pharmaceutically or veterinarily acceptable carrier" includes any and all solvents, dispersion media, coating agents, adjuvants, stabilizers, diluents, preservatives, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic agents, adsorption delaying agents, and the like. In some preferred embodiments, and in particular those immunogenic compositions, which include lyophilization, the stabilizers used in the present invention include stabilizers used for lyophilization or freeze drying.
In some embodiments, the immunogenic compositions of the invention contain an adjuvant. As used herein, "adjuvants" may include aluminum hydroxide and aluminum phosphate, saponins such as Quil a, QS-21(Cambridge Biotech inc., Cambridge ma), GPI-0100 (galenical Pharmaceuticals, inc., Birmingham, AL), water-in-oil emulsions, oil-in-water emulsions, water-in-oil-in-water emulsions. In particular, the emulsion may be based on light liquid paraffin oil (typical of european medicines); isoprenoid oils such as squalane or squalene; oils resulting from the oligomerization of olefins (specifically isobutylene or decene); esters of acids or alcohols containing straight chain alkyl groups, more particularly vegetable oils, ethyl oleate, propylene glycol di- (caprylate/caprate), tri- (glyceryl caprylate/caprate) or propylene glycol dioleate; esters of branched fatty acids or alcohols, in particular isostearate. The oil is used in combination with an emulsifier to form an emulsion. The emulsifier is preferably a nonionic surfactant, specifically: esters of sorbitan, of mannide (e.g. anhydrous mannitol oleate), of glycols, of polyglycerol, of propylene glycol, and of oleic acid, isostearic acid, ricinoleic acid or hydroxystearic acid, which are optionally ethoxylated, and polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene copolymer blocks, in particular the Pluronic products, in particular L121. See Hunter et al, The Theory and practical application of Adjuvants (eds. Stewart-Tull, D.E.S.), John Wiley and Sons, NY, pp 51-94 (1995) and Todd et al, Vaccine 15:564-570 (1997). Examples of adjuvants are The SPT emulsion described on page 147 of "Vaccine Design, The Subunit and Adjuvant Approach", edited by M.Powell and M.Newman, Plenum Press,1995, and The emulsion MF59 described on page 183 of The same book.
Another example of an adjuvant is a compound selected from the group consisting of polymers of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid and copolymers of maleic anhydride and alkenyl derivatives. Advantageous adjuvant compounds are polymers of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, in particular crosslinked with polyalkenyl ethers of sugars or polyols. These compounds are known under the term carbomer (carbomer) (Phameuropa, volume 8, phase 2, 6 months 1996). Those skilled in the art can also refer to U.S. Pat. No. 2,909,462, which describes such acrylic polymers crosslinked with polyhydroxylated compounds having at least 3, preferably not more than 8, hydroxyl groups, the hydrogen atoms of at least three of which are replaced by unsaturated aliphatic groups having at least 2 carbon atoms. Preferred groups are those containing 2 to 4 carbon atoms, such as vinyl, allyl and other ethylenically unsaturated groups. The unsaturated groups may themselves contain other substituents, for example methyl groups. By nameProducts sold (BF Goodrich, Ohio, USA) are particularly suitable. Which is crosslinked with allyl sucrose or allyl pentaerythritol. Among these, Carbopol 974P, 934P and 971P may be mentioned. Most preferably using971P. Among the copolymers of maleic anhydride and alkenyl derivatives, in particular the copolymers ema (monsanto), which are copolymers of maleic anhydride and ethylene. Dissolution of such polymers in water produces an acid solution which will be neutralized, preferably to physiological pH, to produce an adjuvant solution which will be incorporated into the immunogenic, immunogenic or vaccine composition itself.
Other suitable adjuvants include, but are not limited to, RIBI adjuvant system (Ribi Inc.), block copolymers (CytRx, Atlanta GA), SAF-M (Chiron, Emeryville CA), monophosphoryl lipid A, Avridine (Avridine) lipid-amine adjuvants, heat labile enterotoxin from E.coli (recombinant or otherwise), cholera toxin, IMS 1314 or muramyl dipeptide, or natural or recombinant interleukins or analogs thereof or stimulators of endogenous cytokine release, and the like, among others.
It is contemplated that the adjuvant may be added in an amount of about 100 μ g to about 10mg per dose, preferably in an amount of about 100 μ g to about 10mg per dose, more preferably in an amount of about 500 μ g to about 5mg per dose, even more preferably in a dose of about 750 μ g to about 2.5mg per dose, and most preferably in an amount of about 1mg per dose. Alternatively, the adjuvant may be at a concentration of about 0.01% to 50%, preferably at a concentration of about 2% to 30%, more preferably at a concentration of about 5% to 25%, still more preferably at a concentration of about 7% to 22%, and most preferably at a concentration of 10% to 20%, by volume of the final product.
"diluents" may include water, saline, dextrose, ethanol, glycerol, and the like. Isotonic agents may include, inter alia, sodium chloride, dextrose, mannitol, sorbitol and lactose. Stabilizers include, inter alia, albumin and alkali metal salts of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid.
"isolated" means "altered by the human hand" from its natural state, i.e., if it occurs in nature, it has been altered or removed from its original environment, or both. For example, a polynucleotide or polypeptide naturally present in a living organism is not "isolated," but the same polynucleotide or polypeptide separated from the coexisting materials of its natural state is "isolated," as the term is used herein.
By "attenuated" is meant reducing the virulence of the pathogen. In the present invention, "attenuated" is synonymous with "avirulent". In the present invention, an attenuated virus line has reduced virulence so as not to cause clinical signs of infection but is capable of inducing an immune response in the target mammal, but may also mean a reduced incidence or severity of clinical signs in animals infected with an attenuated virus, particularly the claimed EHV-1RacH viral vector, as compared to a "control group" of animals infected with a non-attenuated virus or pathogen and not receiving the attenuated virus. In this context, the term "reduced" means a reduction of at least 10%, preferably 25%, even more preferably 50%, still more preferably 60%, even more preferably 70%, still more preferably 80%, even more preferably 90% and most preferably 100% compared to a control group as defined above. Thus, attenuated avirulent pathogens, such as the claimed attenuated viral vectors, in particular the claimed EHV-1 (preferably RacH) viral vectors, are suitable for the production of Modified Live Vaccines (MLVs) or modified live immunogenic compositions.
The term "treating and/or preventing" refers to reducing the incidence of infection in a herd or reducing the severity of clinical signs caused by or associated with a particular infection. Thus, the term "treating and/or preventing" also refers to reducing the number of animals infected with a pathogen or reducing the severity of clinical signs typically associated with or caused by infection in a herd compared to a herd in which the animals have not received an effective amount of an immunogenic composition as provided herein.
"treatment and/or prevention" generally relates to the administration of an effective amount of an immunogenic composition of the invention to an animal or animal herd in need of such treatment/prevention or which may benefit therefrom. The term "treatment" refers to the administration of an effective amount of an immunogenic composition after an animal or at least some of the animals of a herd have been infected with the pathogen and wherein the animals have exhibited some clinical sign caused by or associated with infection by the pathogen. The term "preventing" refers to administering to an animal prior to any infection of the animal by a pathogen or at least before none of the animals in the animal or herd of animals exhibits any clinical signs caused by or associated with infection by the pathogen. The terms "prevent" and "preventing" are used interchangeably in this application.
The term "clinical signs" as used herein refers to signs of infection of an animal with a pathogen. The clinical signs of infection depend on the pathogen chosen. Examples of such clinical signs include, but are not limited to, respiratory distress, otitis, gross hair tangles, mild fever, depression, and decreased appetite. However, clinical signs also include, but are not limited to, clinical signs that can be observed directly from a living animal. Examples of clinical signs that can be directly observed from an animal include runny nose and tears, lethargy, cough, wheezing, pounding, high fever, weight loss, dehydration, lameness, wasting, pale skin, frailty, and the like.
As used herein, an "effective dose" means, but is not limited to, an amount of an antigen that causes or is capable of eliciting an immune response, which results in a reduction in clinical symptoms in an animal to which the antigen is administered.
As used herein, the term "effective amount" in a composition means an amount of an immunogenic composition that is capable of inducing an immune response, reducing the incidence of disease in an animal, or reducing the severity of infection or disease event. In particular, an effective amount refers to Colony Forming Units (CFU) per dose. Alternatively, in therapy, the term "effective amount" refers to an amount of therapy sufficient to reduce or ameliorate the severity or duration of a disease or disorder or one or more symptoms thereof, prevent the progression of a disease or disorder, cause regression of a disease or disorder, prevent the recurrence, development, onset, or progression of one or more symptoms associated with a disease or disorder, or enhance or improve the prevention or treatment of another therapy or therapeutic agent.
By "immune response" or "immunological response" is meant, but is not limited to, the development of a cellular and/or antibody-mediated immune response to a target (immunogenic) composition or vaccine. Typically, the immune or immunological reaction includes (but is not limited to) one or more of the following effects: generating or activating antibodies, B cells, helper T cells, suppressor T cells, and/or cytotoxic T cells specific for one or more antigens included in the composition or vaccine of interest. Preferably, the host will exhibit a therapeutic or protective immune (memory) response such that resistance to new infections will be enhanced and/or the clinical severity of the disease reduced. The protection will be evidenced by a reduction in the number of symptoms, severity of symptoms, or lack of one or more symptoms associated with a pathogen infection, delay in onset of viremia, reduction in viral persistence, reduction in overall viral load, and/or reduction in viral shedding.
"protection against disease," "protective immunity," "functional immunity," "reduction in clinical symptoms," "induction/production of neutralizing antibodies and/or seroconversion," and similar phrases, mean a partial or complete response to a disease or condition produced by administration of one or more therapeutic compositions of the invention, or a combination thereof, that results in fewer deleterious effects than would be expected from exposure of a non-immunized individual to the disease or infection. That is, the severity of the deleterious effects of infection in vaccinated individuals is reduced. Infection may be reduced, slowed, or possibly completely prevented in vaccinated individuals. In this context, it is specifically indicated if complete prevention of infection is intended. If complete prevention is not indicated, the term includes partial prevention.
Herein, "reduction in the incidence and/or severity of clinical signs" or "reduction in clinical symptoms" means, but is not limited to, reducing the number of infected individuals in a group, reducing or eliminating the number of individuals exhibiting clinical signs of infection, or reducing the severity of any clinical signs present in one or more individuals, as compared to a wild-type infection. For example, it shall refer to any reduction in pathogen load, pathogen shedding, reduction in pathogen transmission, or any reduction in clinical signs of symptoms of malaria. Preferably, the clinical signs of one or more subjects receiving the composition are reduced by at least 10% compared to subjects not receiving the therapeutic composition of the invention and infected. More preferably, the clinical signs of the individual receiving the composition of the invention are reduced by at least 20%, preferably by at least 30%, more preferably by at least 40% and even more preferably by at least 50%.
The term "increased protection" means herein, but is not limited to, a statistically significant reduction in one or more clinical symptoms associated with infection by an infectious agent in a group of vaccinated individuals relative to a control group of unvaccinated individuals. The term "statistically significant reduction of clinical symptoms" means, but is not limited to, that the frequency of onset of at least one clinical symptom in a group of vaccinated individuals is at least 10%, preferably 20%, more preferably 30%, even more preferably 50% and even more preferably 70% lower than in a non-vaccinated control group after challenge with an infectious agent.
"permanent protection" shall mean "improved efficacy" for at least 3 weeks, but more preferably at least 3 months, still more preferably at least 6 months. In the case of livestock, most preferably, the permanent protection should last until the average age for the meat is sold by the animal.
The term "reduction of viremia" induced by a virus means, but is not limited to, a reduction of virus entering the bloodstream of an animal, wherein the extent of viremia, i.e. the number of copies of viral DNA or RNA per ml of serum or plaque-forming colonies per pooled serum, is reduced by at least 50% in the serum of an animal receiving the composition compared to an animal not receiving the composition of the invention and which may be infected. More preferably, the level of viremia is reduced by at least 90%, preferably at least 99.9%, more preferably at least 99.99%, and even more preferably at least 99.999% in an animal receiving a composition of the invention.

The term "food producing animal" means an animal for human consumption, such as pigs, cattle, poultry, fish and the like, preferably pigs.
The term "companion animal" encompasses animals such as cats, horses or dogs.
The term "viremia" as used herein shall be understood in particular as a condition in which viral particles replicate and/or circulate in the bloodstream of an animal, in particular a mammal, a bird or an insect.
"safe" means that there are no adverse consequences in the vaccinated animal after vaccination, including but not limited to: virus-based vaccines potentially reverse to virulent, clinically significant side effects, such as persistent, systemic disease, or unacceptable inflammation at the site of vaccine administration.
The term "vaccination" or "vaccinating" or variations thereof as used herein is meant to include, but is not limited to, a process of administering an immunogenic composition of the invention which, when administered to an animal, elicits or is capable of eliciting (directly or indirectly) an immune response in the animal.
In the context of the present invention, "mortality" refers to death caused by infection and includes situations where the infection is so severe that the animal is euthanized to prevent distress and provide a humane fate for its life.

Oral formulations may include standard carriers such as pharmaceutical grades of mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharine, cellulose, magnesium carbonate, and the like.
Method of treatment
Preferred routes of administration include, but are not limited to, intranasal, oral, intradermal, and intramuscular. Most preferably in a single dose in drinking water. One skilled in the art will recognize that the compositions of the present invention may also be administered in one, two or more doses by other routes of administration. Such other routes include, for example, subcutaneous, intradermal, intraperitoneal, and depending on the desired duration and effectiveness of treatment, the compositions of the invention may be metered, for example, once or several times daily, also intermittently at different doses (e.g., about 10) 3To 108TCID50 (see above for viral titers)) for several days, weeks or months. In a particular aspect of the invention, the dosage is about 103To 108TCID50, particularly for live virus/live vaccine.
If desired, the compositions may be presented in a pack or dispenser device which may contain one or more unit dosage forms containing the active ingredient. The pack may, for example, comprise a metal or plastic foil, such as a blister pack. The pack or dispenser device may be accompanied by instructions for administration, preferably to a mammal, especially a pig. The container(s) may carry a notice in a form prescribed by a governmental agency regulating the manufacture, use or sale of pharmaceuticals or biological products, which notice indicates approval by the agency of manufacture, use or sale for human administration.
Definition of antigen
The term "swine influenza virus" is known to the person skilled in the art. The term swine influenza virus refers to influenza virus type a or C from the orthomyxovirus family that causes swine influenza. Although orthomyxoviruses have three groups: influenza types a, B and C, but only influenza types a and C, infect pigs. Preferably, the swine influenza virus is swine influenza a virus. Subtypes of swine influenza virus include H1N1, H1N2, H3N2, and H3N 1. H9N2 and H5N1 may also be found in pigs. Preferably, the swine influenza virus is an influenza virus isolated from swine.
The terms "HA" or "H", "NA" or "N" and "NP" are known to those skilled in the art. However, in general, influenza a virus is subdivided into 17H (hemagglutinin) and 10N (neuraminidase) subtypes, which yield many possible combinations (designated H1N1, H1N2 … H2N1, H2N2 … H5N1, H5N2 …, etc.). H (hemagglutinin) and N (neuraminidase) are surface glycoproteins in influenza a viruses (e.g., SIAV). In addition, N is the primary antigenic target of neutralizing antibodies. In addition, NP (nucleoprotein) forms the nucleocapsid.

Example 1:
generation of stable cell lines expressing the EHV-1ORF 43(UL18) or ORF54 (UL8) genes
The synthetic, codon optimized ORF43 (ORF 43(co)) gene of SEQ ID NO:3 (based on the nucleotide sequence of the ORF43 gene of the EHV-1RacH strain, SEQ ID NO:1) was digested with XhoI/BamHI and ligated into pCEP vector (Invitrogen, Cat. No. V044-50) digested with the same restriction endonucleases. The resulting plasmid pCEP-ORF43(co) (FIG. 1) was linearized and transfected into pig testis cells (ST). Two weeks after selection with hygromycin, stable cells expressing the ORF43(CO) gene (ST-43-CO cells) were used to rescue replication-defective EHV-1 viruses.
The synthetic, codon optimized ORF54 (ORF 54(co)) gene of SEQ ID NO:4 (based on the nucleotide sequence of the ORF54 gene of the EHV-1RacH strain, SEQ ID NO:2) was digested with XhoI/BamHI and ligated into the pCEP vector (Invitrogen, Cat. No. V044-50) digested with the same restriction endonucleases. The resulting plasmid pCEP-ORF54(co) (FIG. 2) was linearized and transfected into pig testis cells (ST). Two weeks after selection with hygromycin, stable cells expressing the ORF54(CO) gene (ST-54-CO cells) were used to rescue replication-defective EHV-1 viruses.
Example 2:
vector construction and replication-defective EHV virus rescue
EHV-1. delta. ORF43 virus, mCMV promoter-driven RFP replacement ORF43
A synthetic DNA having Multiple Cloning Sites (MCS) flanked by 171 nucleotides upstream (SEQ ID NO:5) and 265 nucleotides downstream (SEQ ID NO:6) of the ORF43 gene was designed. The mCMV (murine CMV promoter) driven red fluorescent protein (RFP/mCherry) (Shaner et al, 2004) was used as a reporter. As a transcription termination signal and mRNA stabilization function, bovine growth hormone polyadenylation sequence (BGHpA, Goodwin & Rottman,1992) was used directly downstream of the 3' end of the reporter gene (RFP) gene. The RFP gene digested with MluI/SalI restriction endonucleases was cloned into MCS to generate plasmid pUC 43-mCMV-RFP. From this plasmid, a DNA fragment with mCMV-RFP-BGH polyadenylation flanked by ORF43 (SEQ ID NO:7) was digested and cloned into EHV-1RacH BAC DNA using the RED recombination system to generate EHV-1-43-mCMV. ORF43 was knocked out by Red recombination and replaced with mCMV-RFP-BGH polya (fig. 3). Following kanamycin selection, EHV-1-43-mCMV RFP BAC DNA was later transfected into ST-43-CO cells to rescue the recombinant virus, rEHV-1-43-mCMV-RFP.
Example 3:
EHV-1. DELTA. ORF43 virus, replacement of ORF43 by endogenous EHV-1 promoter-driven RFP
In another version of the replacement replication-deficient EHV-1 virus, a modified RED recombination protocol was used to replace ORF43 with the ORFP gene in frame (fig. 5). First, a synthetic DNA SceI/kanamycin DNA flanked by 171 nucleotides (SEQ ID NO:5) upstream and 265 nucleotides (SEQ ID NO:6) downstream of the ORF43 gene was designed. This DNA fragment (SEQ ID NO:8) was transformed into E.coli K12 GS1783 harboring EHV-1BAC DNA. Selection with kanamycin yielded an intermediate EHV-1 clone in which ORF43 was replaced with a SceI/kanamycin fragment. Next, an RFP gene flanked by 161 nucleotides upstream (SEQ ID NO 9) and 120 nucleotides downstream (SEQ ID NO:10) of the ORF43 gene was transformed into the above clones to select EHV-1BAC DNA clones in which the ORF43 gene was replaced with RFP in frame (EHV-1-43-RFP) (FIG. 4). EHV-1-43RFP BAC DNA was transfected into ST-43-CO cells to rescue the recombinant virus, rEHV-1-43-RFP. Since we did not include an external promoter, in this case RFP expression was dependent on intrinsic EHV-1 gene expression of the endogenous ORF43 promoter.
Example 4:
EHV-1. delta. ORF 54 virus, mCMV promoter-driven RFP replacement of ORF 54
A synthetic DNA having MCS flanked by 200 nucleotides upstream (SEQ ID NO:11) and 200 nucleotides downstream (SEQ ID NO:12) of the ORF54 gene was designed. The mCMV driven RFP gene digested with MluI/SalI restriction endonucleases was cloned into MCS to generate plasmid pUC 54-mCMV-RFP. From this plasmid, a DNA fragment with mCMV-RFP-BGH polyadenylation flanked by ORF54 (SEQ ID NO:13) was digested with I-CeuI and cloned into EHV-1RacH BAC DNA using the RED recombination system to generate EHV-1-54-mCMV RFP. ORF54 was knocked out by Red recombination and the inserted mCMV-RFP-BGH polyadenylation was in the same region (fig. 6). Following kanamycin selection, EHV-1-54-mCMV RFP BAC DNA was later transfected into ST-54-CO cells to rescue the recombinant virus, rEHV-1-54-mCMV-RFP.
Example 5:
replication-deficient EHV-1 viruses having a transgene in ORF43 or ORF54
Conventional ST cells, ST-43-CO cells and ST-54-CO cells were infected with EHV-1/RacH, rEHV-1-43-mCMV-RFP, rEHV-1-43-RFP and rEHV-1-54-mCMV-RFP viruses of different multiplicity of infection (MOI). The gene expression and plaque formation of the infected cells were observed every 24h by fluorescence microscopy. Monitoring cytopathic effect (CPE) by light microscopy; the virus was harvested at 70% CPE and titrated by TCID 50.
As seen in FIG. 7, EHV-1/RacH virus caused significant CPE in all three cell lines. The specific plaques observed in all cells infected with EHV-1/RacH virus established that the stable cells generated in examples 1 and 2 support EHV-1 replication as well as conventional ST cells.
Conventional ST cells and ST-43-CO cells were infected with rEHV-1-43-RFP virus (FIG. 8). Although both cells were infected with rEHV-1-43-RFP virus (as seen from GFP expression), CPE and virus production were only observed in ST-43-CO cells. Transgene (RFP) expression was observed in all infected cells, but only visible CPE or plaques in ST-43-CO cells.
Next, conventional ST cells and ST-43-CO cells were infected with rEHV-1-43-mCMV-RFP virus (FIG. 9). Although both cells were infected with rEHV-1-43-mCMV-RFP virus (as seen from GFP expression), CPE and virus production were only observed in ST-43-CO cells. Transgene (RFP) expression was observed in all infected cells, but only visible CPE or plaques in ST-43-CO cells.
The above data confirm that EHV-1 viruses lacking the ORF43 gene are able to replicate only in cells expressing the ORF43 protein (as in ST-43-CO cells), but not in conventional cells. The data also demonstrate that ORF43 can be replaced with different transgenes that can be expressed in infected cells via an external promoter (e.g., mCMV) or as part of the EHV-1 gene (without an external promoter; with an endogenous promoter).
Finally, conventional ST cells and ST-54-CO cells were infected with rEHV-1-54-mCMV-RFP virus (FIG. 10). Although both cells were infected with rEHV-1-54-mCMV-RFP virus (as seen from GFP expression), CPE and virus production were only observed in ST-54-CO cells. Transgene (RFP) expression was observed in all infected cells, but only visible CPE or plaques in ST-54-CO cells. This data confirms that EHV-1 viruses lacking the ORF54 gene are able to replicate only in cells expressing the ORF54 protein (as in ST-54-CO cells), but not in conventional cells. The data also demonstrate that ORF54 can be replaced with different transgenes that can be expressed in infected cells via an external promoter (e.g., mCMV).
Titers (in triplicate) of various recombinant viruses produced on different cell lines were compared. The data clearly demonstrate that viruses lacking either ORF43 or ORF54 are unable to replicate in conventional cells (table 1).

Synthetic DNA flanked to completely knock out ORF43 by two-step red recombination was designed and transformed into GS1783 cells carrying EHV-1/HA BAC DNA (HA sequence, SEQ ID NO: 14). After two steps of red recombination, ORF43 was knocked out (confirmed by Sanger sequencing, data not shown) to generate EHV-1- Δ ORF 43-HA. EHV-1- Δ ORF43-HA BACDNA (with the mCMV-driven HA gene at ORF 1/3 and lacking ORF 43) was transfected into ST-43-CO cells to rescue the recombinant virus rEHV-1- Δ ORF 43-HA.
Synthetic DNA flanked to completely knock out ORF54 by two-step red recombination was designed and transformed into GS1783 cells carrying EHV-1/HA BAC DNA (HA sequence, SEQ ID NO: 14). After two steps of red recombination, ORF54 was knocked out (confirmed by Sanger sequencing, data not shown) to generate EHV-1- Δ ORF 54-HA. EHV-1- Δ ORF54-HA BACDNA (with the mCMV-driven HA gene at ORF 1/3 and lacking ORF 54) was transfected into ST-43-CO cells to rescue the recombinant virus rEHV-1- Δ ORF 54-HA.
CPE/Virus production was only observed in infected ST-43-CO cells when conventional ST and ST-43-CO cells were infected with rEHV-1- Δ ORF43-HA at different MOIs. HA expression in infected cells can be confirmed by IFA (immunofluorescence analysis) using anti-HA antibodies.
CPE/Virus production was only observed in infected ST-54-CO cells when conventional ST and ST-54-CO cells were infected with rEHV-1- Δ ORF54-HA at different MOIs. HA expression in infected cells can be confirmed by IFA (immunofluorescence analysis) using anti-HA antibodies.
Example 7:
testing of replication-deficient EHV-1 vector vaccines expressing HA in vivo at another insertion site in pigs
Synthetic DNA flanked to completely knock out ORF43 by two-step red recombination was designed and transformed into GS1783 cells carrying EHV-1/HA BAC DNA (HA sequence, SEQ ID NO: 25). After two steps of red recombination, ORF43 was knocked out (confirmed by Sanger sequencing, data not shown) to generate EHV-1- Δ ORF 43-HA. EHV-1- Δ ORF43-HA BACDNA (with the mCMV-driven HA gene at ORF 1/3 and lacking ORF 43) was transfected into ST-43-CO cells to rescue the recombinant virus rEHV-1- Δ ORF 43-HA.
CPE/Virus production was only observed in infected ST-43-CO cells when non-supplemented ST and ST-43-CO cells were infected with rEHV-1- Δ ORF 43-HA. HA (SEQ ID NO:25) expression in infected cells can be confirmed by IFA (immunofluorescence analysis) using anti-HA antibody (FIG. 19).
To test the potential of replication deficient EHV-1 viruses as vaccines, 5 pigs at 11 weeks of age were vaccinated twice (day 0 and 14) with rEHV-1-. DELTA.ORF 43-HA virus. Control groups of animals were vaccinated with placebo. Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) assays were performed from all serum samples to test whether vaccinated pigs carry antibodies against antigens present in replication-defective EHV-1 viruses.
All 5 vaccinated animals had significant HI titers after one vaccination. After the second vaccination, the HI titers of all vaccinated pigs were further increased. On similar test days, none of the control animals had significant HI titers (fig. 20).

Influenza hemagglutinin subtype H3 (A/pig/Italy/7680/2001 (H3N2), Genbank accession No.: ABS50302.2) was cloned into pU70-p455-71K71 (FIG. 11, SEQ ID NO.15) to generate the transfer plasmid pU70-p455-H3-71K71, placing H3 under the control of the p455 promoter and the novel 71pA polyadenylation signal, and flanking a cassette with a recombinant region for insertion into ORF70 (FIG. 12, SEQ ID NO: 16). The RED recombination system (Tischer et al, 2006Biotechnol. Tech.40,191-197) was used to clone the expression cassette p455-H3-71 at ORF70 of pRacH-SE to generate pRacH-SE70-p455-H3 (FIG. 13).
PK/WRL cells were transfected with pRacH-SE70-p455-H3 to rescue recombinant rEHV-1RacH-SE70-p455-H3 virus. Insertion of the expression cassette was confirmed by sequencing of the high fidelity PCR product of the inserted region. Expression of the transgene in infected cells was analyzed by indirect immunofluorescence analysis (IFA, fig. 14).
Example 9
In vivo testing of a monovalent EHV-1 vector influenza A virus vaccine (H3 vaccine) in pigs
To test the efficacy of rEHV-1RacH-SE-70-p455-H3 as a potential vaccine, the dose of two intramuscular vaccinations of piglets without maternal immunity to porcine IAV (without maternal antibodies) at 2 and 5 weeks of age, respectively, was 1X 107TCID50/mL rEHV-1RacH-SE-70-p455-H3, or vaccination at 5 weeks of age only (single vaccination). The group of non-vaccinated piglets served as negative control and a group of animals vaccinated with a commercial inactivated porcine IAV vaccine at 2 and 5 weeks of age served as positive control (euthanized) according to the manufacturer's instructions (except the time point of vaccination). At 8 weeks of age, all animals except the negative control group received 1X 107Intratracheal administration of TCID50/mL of H3N2 porcine IAV challenge strain (European field virus isolate R452-14, whose H3 is heterologous to the H3 vaccine antigen used in RacH-SE-70-p 455-H3). Unvaccinated and non-challenged animals were used as negative controls, while unvaccinated and challenged animals were used as challenge controls. Body temperature and blood samples were collected at selected time points. One day after challenge, half of the animals in each group were euthanized and lungs were scored for lesions typical of porcine IAV infection, three lung samples were taken from each left and right lung of each animal to determine the titer of infectious porcine IAV in lung homogenate and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was sampled. The same procedure was performed 3 days after challenge on the remaining half of the animals of each group.
When body temperature was studied to rise after application of porcine IAV challenge virus, unvaccinated animals showed an increase in body temperature of about 1 ℃ the day after challenge (fig. 15), unlike piglets vaccinated twice with rhehv-1 RacH-SE-70-p 455-H3.
Lung scores were evaluated in animals euthanized 1 or 3 days post challenge. Typical lung lesions associated with porcine IAV infection were absent in piglets of the negative control group. However, lung foci were observed in the challenge control group (average range 6% to 7%). Finally, mean lung lesion scores were significantly lower (less than 4%) in piglets vaccinated twice with the rEHV1-RacH-SE-70-p455-H3 vaccine (FIG. 16).
Mean porcine IAV lung titers were evaluated in animals euthanized 1 or 3 days post challenge. Although no porcine IAV was present in the lung samples of piglets in the negative control group, the challenge control group showed a viral titer ranging from more than 5 (day 3) to more than 7log (day 1) per gram of lung tissue. In sharp contrast, the group mean was strongly reduced to about 2log or less for the group vaccinated once with rEHV1RacH-SE-70-p455-H3 and to undetectable levels for the group vaccinated twice with rEHV-1RacH-SE-70-p455-H3 (FIG. 17).
When the induction of porcine IAV neutralizing antibodies was tested after vaccination, sera from animals vaccinated once with the rEHV-1RacH-SE-70-p455-H3 vaccine showed a reciprocal neutralization titer of about 160 at 3 weeks after the first vaccination, and sera from animals vaccinated twice with the rEHV-1RacH-SE-70-p455-H3 vaccine showed a reciprocal neutralization titer of about 2560 at 3 weeks after the second vaccination, while sera from the non-vaccinated group had no detectable porcine IAV neutralizing antibody content (FIG. 18).
Taken together, the data from this example demonstrate that the transgene inserted at ORF70 in the context of an EHV-1 vector can be expressed using an external promoter, and that the resulting recombinant EHV-1 vector can be used as a potential vaccine candidate in vivo.
